1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Objective: This research examines how interschool physical activity (PA) interventions affect children's BMI, motor skills, and sleep behaviors. Methods: In this investigation, a stratified random sampling method was implemented to choose 40 physically and mentally healthy fifth-grade students (average age of 10.72 ± 0.56 years) from an elementary school in Tianjin, China, after stratification by gender, randomly divided into experimental group (EG, Results: After the intervention, the BMI of the EG was significantly reduced by 0.26 kg/m Conclusion: Enhancing interschool PA by 120 min weekly over a 12-week period has been shown to significantly improve BMI, motor skills, PA levels, and sleep quality among 10-to-11-year-old children. This intervention offers a practical foundation for promoting children's health and developing school physical education standards.
